Marriage And Love Again

It had been ages since Suny was so excited last time. She was a lot more mature and reasonable than her peers since she entered middle school. Later, her parents passed out in the accident around a half year after she took SAT. Then she pushed herself to grow up quickly and became more and more reliable and restrained.

The last time she got excited like this was when she was still a pupil. She got home one day after school and found a cupcake on the table. Though it was just a little cupcake, Suny still felt extremely excited and happy, considering her terrible family financial situation then.

She had expected that Austin would give her some birthday presents. But it was out of her expectation that he would come to see her in person here in the Murphy Family.

The housekeeper was about to lock the door when she arrived there. The housekeeper was amazed and asked her, “It’s late at night. Where are you going, Ms. Suny?”

“Right at the gate.”

Suny answered, pulled the door open, and ran out.

She was in a hurry. So, she just couldn’t control herself and fell into Austin’s arms when she arrived in front of him.

“Take your time. I’m here. I won’t go.” Austin stretched to hold her and lowered his head to look at her.

“Why are you here?” Suny looked up at him and felt a bit embarrassed.

The fireworks behind them were still crackling and colorful lights shone on Suny’s face. Austin choked back the strong desire and said, “This is the first birthday we celebrated today since we are together.”

He had never celebrated any of her birthdays during those three years. To him, Suny was nothing but a stranger with the tile of his wife at that time. Let bygones be bygones. Since they had been with each other again, he wished desperately to spend the rest of his life with her. Suny came to the world for the first time on this day twenty-eight years ago. And, he felt he must stay with her today.

“So, the fireworks, too?” Suny looked at him and smiled.

She raised her hand to point to the crackling fireworks behind them while she was talking.

“Yeah.” Austin turned around to take a look and answered.

Besides, he had also made a block booking of the all LED screens in J City and all the small screens on the top of the taxis and showed his wishes to her.

He would also have booked all the LED screens in D City if Charlie had been less unhappy with him.

“Aren’t you afraid that my grandpa would see it?”

“I think he also wants you to be happy today.” Austin looked up to the villa in front of him.

“Thanks.” Suny laughed.

Actually, she was lacking a sense of security since her parents died. The reason why she could have made it through the three-year marriage with Austin was that she always wanted a home and she always wanted someone to stay with her and care about her for a lifetime.

Now Austin had come for her! Suddenly, she felt the misery over the past three years wasn’t that bad.

Whatever she had lost before, she had regained it now.

It wasn’t New Year or any festival. But they shot off the fireworks in the villa district for more than ten minutes.

Charlie had planned to go to bed but the fireworks outside were just too loud. He raised his eyebrows and turned to get out of the room.

“Who did that?” Charlie asked when he saw Lily and Robert still there in the living room.

What a coincidence! It was Suny’s birthday today. The fireworks came at the perfect time.

“Take a look from the balcony and you’ll find out.” Lily smiled.

Lily had never met Austin and she didn’t expect him to play such a romantic game.

She had romantic moments with Walter when they were young. Though they were not as dazzling as the fireworks, they did make a stir at that time.

Seeing the younger generations today, Lily couldn’t help missing the good old days.

Charlie was a bit confused. He moved his legs to the balcony, hoping to find out what was going on and he was surprised to find Robert standing there.

“What’s so…” Charlie snorted when he found Robert staring downstairs.

In the middle of his words, Charlie did catch sight of a man and a woman at the gate of the villa though his eyesight was rather poor.

He was old and had poor eyesight. Charlie could barely see a man and a woman since they were more than 30 inches away.

Why were this man and woman standing at the gate of their villa in the middle of the night?

And Robert was watching them!

“Suny was downstairs?” Charlie was enlightened in a flash.

“Yes.” Robert nodded.

“That man is Austin?” Charlie pulled his face immediately.

“Yes.”

Saying it, Robert looked towards Charlie, who was going to bring Suny back, “Suny rushed downstairs just down. She must want to see him very much today.”

Charlie paused and gave it a thought. Then he stopped what he was going to do.

Charlie and Robert stood on the balcony and watched Austin and Suny downstairs. Both of them looked unhappy.

Seeing Suny get into the car with Austin, Charlie was worried, “He even tries to take Suny away? This little bastard!”

“Austin won’t cross the line, grandpa.” Robert squinted and reached out to stop Charlie.

In fact, Robert didn’t feel like saying good words for Austin at all. But he just couldn’t bear to ruin it when he recalled how Suny had rushed downstairs just now.

Suny had been elegant, calm, and peaceful since they had brought her back to the family. Like her cousin, Robert even didn’t get a chance to care about her and protect her.

It was the first time for Robert to see Suny getting excited like this over these few months. She looked like a teenage girl who got to know the boy that she liked had come for her. Her smiling face had told everything though she didn’t speak a word.

Moreover, Austin had known that the Murphy Family didn’t like him already and his sudden appearance today must irritate Charlie more.

But even so, he still made it here to surprise Suny on her birthday.

For this, Robert had to let him though he really disliked Austin.

Suny should be very happy.

Charlie had to admit that Robert had made his point, though unwillingly. Austin was a very capable young man after spending two days with him, though he still held a bias against him.

Without a doubt, he wouldn’t easily forget what he had done to his granddaughter!

“I’ll break his legs if he dares not to send Suny back tonight.” Charlie snorted.

“Don’t worry. I’ll twist his arms before you break his legs.” Robert raised his brows.

“He’s up to no good, this Austin guy!”Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“Yes, you’re right.” Robert nodded to agree.

Charlie and Robert stood there on the balcony and watched the car leaving. After a while, Robert took his eyes back and said, “It’s late, Grandpa. You must rest now.”

“Don’t worry. I won’t sleep until Suny’s home,” he added.

“Don’t sleep until Suny’s home.” Charlie crooned again.

“Sure!”

Charlie glanced in the direction where the car had disappeared, then took his eyes off it and turned to get into the room.

The housekeeper held him back to the room. Lily watched Charlie’s figure and smiled, “It seems that Father still hates Austin.”

“Don’t worry. Austin is really somebody!” Walter touched her hands.

Lily glanced at Walter, “I just feel distressed when thinking that Suny will have to make cookies.”

“Father also feels distressed for Suny.”

Walter and Lily were talking while going back to their room. Soon enough, Robert was left alone in the living room.

It was a long night. He sat on the couch with his eyes closed and suddenly remembered the girl that threw herself into his arms many years ago.
